Do you rip the audio off of your music video dvds?

So do you make mp3s or wavs out of your concert dvds?

I do on occasion. Though I don't own too many concert discs. And usually I have the concert on audio cd already bought so it would be kind of redundant. Though I like the fun of being able to know how to do it of course

I don't own any concert DVDs or CDs. I hate concert recorded music. When I listen to music I prefer to listen to studio recorded where they get several attempts to get it right rather than having to live with whatever came out at the moment including all that annoying applause and screams and crap from the audience.

REally??

I like both. I prefer studio as the tone is just right. BUT I love the energy of Live music. Plus the reverb and stuff in 5.1 is quite involving. Also you can't beat some of the best guitar riffs in live music when they go off script sometimes

REally??

Yes, really.

I've ripped a few sound tracks, but they were musicals whose sound tracks have not been released on CD. I find concert DVDs boring, but I really get into live recordings if the energy is there and recording quality is decent . A really good example of how a live performance can eclipse the studio are the live tracks on U2's Rattle and Hum. In general I'll buy the CD if I can, since the rips tend to sound so so.

BTW I hate live recordings were the audience thinks that they're part of the performance. I've had my share of telling people around me to quiet down so I could enjoy what's happening on on the stage.

I guess it's all a matter of opinion.
I think it's sweet when the audience becomes 'part of the band'.
And the artists usually love it.
A perfect example is the live recording of Tom Petty's "Breakdown".
The audience sings the entire song to him while the band plays the music. It kicks ass and Tom absolutely loved it.
'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery' and whatnot, eh?

I was at a Whitesnake concert many, many long years ago and the band played the opening riff to "In the Still of the Night" and that was it for their part. The crowd sang the entire song to them a capella and when we were done, the band said that was the coolest damn thing they'd ever seen.

I didn't mean to sound that harsh: I don't mine singing along at all, it's a blast when your there and the audience really gets into it. It's the people who randomly yell things like "rock 'n' roll" or whistle while the music is playing that drives me nuts.

I download the audio tracks. It's easier.

agreed, however, still not as bad as the drunken idiot who insists on singing completely wrong lyrics to every song at the top of his lungs... :P

No. The movies with the good soundtracks have released CDs with the full versions on it. Movie audio tracks frequently have heavily edited cuts :P
